EBACE 2017, the 17th edition of Europe’s largest business aviation exhibition, launched yesterday with a spirited opening session, reflecting a growing sense of optimism in the industry. Brandon Mitchener, the European Business Aviation Association’s new CEO, pointed to signs of resurgence “after years of sluggishness,” with a steady growth in flight activity over the past six months.
